Chapter 463: A Breakthrough in the Laws
At the same time, in the Sovereign City of the Great Shaw Empire.
Princess Kelsey lay on an ice bed.
The black Miko resentment energy surrounding her body suddenly disappeared.
A long-lost rosy color returned to her pale face.
"It worked."
Inside the secret chamber, Aiden opened his eyes.
He sensed that the seal between heaven and earth had awakened again, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
"Next, it’s my turn."
Aiden took a deep breath and waved his sleeve.
Boom!
An ancient stone platform crashed down onto the ground.
It shone with nine-colored divine light, and its surface was carved with ancient patterns of the universe.
A Demi-Sacred Artifact-
The Transmutation Altar!
Aiden’s figure flashed.
He appeared at the center of the Transmutation Altar and sat down cross-legged.
"System, help me break through!"
Aiden shouted in a low voice.
The blood and energy inside his body surged like a raging ocean.
Boom!
The Transmutation Altar began to spin wildly.
It turned into a huge nine-colored energy vortex and completely wrapped around Aiden.
Inside his mind, the 4,800 Inner Spirit fragments he had absorbed before began to melt rapidly with the help of the Transmutation Altar.
Then, they fused into his soul.
[Soul Strength: 93%... 95%... 98%...]
At that moment, Aiden’s soul seemed to be tempered by divine fire.
It became clearer and brighter, giving off an immortal glow.
[Ding! Soul Strength has reached 100%!]
Crack!
It was as if a seal that had been locked away for ten thousand years was forcefully broken.
At this moment, Aiden’s soul crossed the limit of mortals and touched the forbidden realm of gods.
But that was still not enough.
To take the final step, he had to truly master the laws.
Buzz!
Aiden’s mind instantly sank into a mysterious empty world.
Here, countless colorful threads intertwined in the void.
They were the origin of the world.
They were the patterns of the laws.
"Space..."
As soon as Aiden had the thought, a silver thread of law wrapped around his fingertip.
Boom!
His understanding of the Law of Space instantly broke through the critical point.
It passed one hundred percent and entered the realm of true mastery!
Right after that, the violent blue Law of Thunder, the bloody Law of Slaughter, and the burning Law of Fire rushed toward him like countless rivers flowing into the sea.
Aiden entered a strange and wonderful state, as if he had become one with heaven and earth.
He greedily absorbed the deeper truths of the laws.
Outside the secret chamber.
A small figure stood like a spear, yet she carried a terrifying killing aura.
Cheryl held a pitch-black battle staff in her arms.
Her beautiful eyes swept coldly over the area.
The magic power of the battle Miko inside her was fully released without holding anything back.
"If anyone dares to disturb Brother Aiden, they die."
Her voice was very soft, but it carried a firm will that no one could question.
She did not move even half a step away.
On the third day of Aiden’s closed-door training-
Boom!
A deafening sound, impossible to describe in words, suddenly exploded above Celestial Imperial City.
The whole city shook violently.
The sky had been clear moments ago, but in less than half a breath, it was completely covered by endless black thunderclouds.
This was no ordinary storm.
Inside the thunderclouds, purple-gold lightning moved like raging dragons.
It gave off a destructive pressure so terrifying that even a level 99 Great Venerable would tremble before it.
At this moment, the laws of heaven and earth went completely out of control.
The Divine Ascension Tribulation had arrived!
...
Above Celestial Imperial City, purple-gold lightning rolled wildly through the black clouds like giant snakes meant to destroy the world.
Every Reclasser in the city felt a deep shiver coming from the depths of their soul.
But Aiden, deep inside the secret chamber, seemed to be in another world.
His breathing was calm and deep.
With every breath, the nine-colored divine light on the Transmutation Altar rose and fell violently.
[Ding! The host is in closed-door training and is comprehending the laws. The 10,000x Critical Hit System has been activated automatically!]
[Ding! Comprehension effect increased by 10,000 times!]
The cold system voice rang loudly in Aiden’s mind.
A 10,000 times increase!
For ordinary Reclassers, understanding the laws was like a blind man trying to understand an elephant by touch.
It could take hundreds or even thousands of years.
But with the help of the 10,000x Critical Hit System, the threads of law before Aiden’s eyes became so clear that they seemed solid enough to touch.
Buzz!
Aiden’s fingertip trembled slightly.
The silver thread of the Law of Space instantly burst out with a light as bright as the sun.
[Ding! Your Law of Space has advanced from "Beginner Mastery" to "Intermediate Mastery"!]
In an instant, the space around Aiden began to fold and twist violently.
He no longer needed to chant any spell.
With just a thought, he could tear open the void and teleport across an extreme distance.
This was no longer just a skill.
It had become instinct.
It was the authority over space that only a god could possess!
"Still not enough..."
A sharp light flashed in Aiden’s eyes.
His mind sank once more into the violent Law of Thunder.
Boom!
Purple-gold arcs of lightning rushed wildly across Aiden’s body.
Every arc contained destructive Strength.
[Ding! Your Law of Thunder has advanced to "Intermediate Mastery"!]
Thunder was no longer just a single-target method of destruction.
It had turned into an absolute domain woven from countless bolts of lightning.
Thunder Domain, open!
Within this domain, all things were like ants.
Any enemy who stepped inside would be suppressed and wiped out by endless Lightning Judgement!
[Ding! Your total law comprehension progress has increased from 18% to 23%!]
At the same time, the nine-colored light on the Transmutation Altar almost became solid.
The 4,800 Inner Spirit fragments had been fully refined by the 10,000x Critical Hit effect and completely fused into Aiden’s soul.
Buzz!
Deep inside Aiden’s sea of consciousness, a small Inner Spirit glowing with endless starlight slowly opened its eyes.
His soul strength had completely broken through the limits of mortals and stepped onto the threshold of godhood!
It was a change beyond words.
His soul became as bright as the stars and as hard as an unbreakable fortress.
It was now strong enough to bear the full weight of the Force of Laws!
Rumble!
As Aiden broke through, the thunderclouds above Celestial Imperial City expanded violently once again.
A terrifying wave of law power spread across the entire Earth in an instant!
...
The Great Shaw Empire, the Sovereign City, deep inside the imperial palace.
Empress Eira stood on the stargazing platform in her dragon robe, her hands behind her back.
She looked at the strange purple-gold light on the horizon, and a stunning smile appeared on her face.
"Aiden... the future of the Great Shaw Empire is in your hands now."
...
The City of Miko.
Rainn stood on top of a cold tower.
The endless lightning reflected in her beautiful eyes as she silently looked toward Celestial Imperial City.
"He is finally about to take that step."
...
On the Golden Great Wall.
Zoey’s almost transparent body drifted in the wind.
She closed her eyes and felt the echo of the laws in the air.
Then she put her hands together and prayed in silence.
"After ten thousand years of guarding this world, today, we finally welcome a new god."
...
Inside the secret chamber.
Aiden slowly opened his eyes.
Two beams of purple-gold lightning shot out from them and pierced through the void.
Soul strength: 100%!
Law comprehension: breakthrough achieved!
Everything was ready!
[Ding! The host’s soul strength and law comprehension have both met the requirements. Beginning the breakthrough to level 100!]
Boom!
At that moment, the experience inside Aiden’s body burned wildly.
It turned into a mighty flood of Strength.
Level 99...
Level 100!
Crack!
The purple-gold thunderclouds in the sky suddenly went wild.
A bolt of lightning as thick as a barrel came crashing down with world-destroying power, striking straight toward the secret chamber of the City Lord’s Mansion!
[Ding! The host’s experience has reached the upper limit. The genetic lock has completely shattered!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host. Your level has successfully broken through to level 100!]
Boom!
At that moment, the void around the entire Earth shook violently.
It was as if the world itself could not bear the birth of a supreme being.
For a thousand years, the iron rule of humanity’s data-based era had never been broken.
But today, Aiden shattered it with a single step!
The Divine Ascension Tribulation descended with unstoppable force!
...
The Great Shaw Empire, the Sovereign City, on the towering city wall.
Empress Eira stood in the wind, dressed in her dragon robe.
The golden Golden Dragon of National Destiny roared around her.
But when it sensed the aura of the heavenly tribulation, it let out a low cry of fear.
"A thousand years of waiting... My Great Shaw Empire has finally welcomed its first god."
Eira’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly.
Her voice carried excitement she could hardly control.
Behind her, James, the War God of the Great Shaw Empire, and Luke, the Tyrant Cleric, were both powerful Venerables who usually looked down on all living beings.
But at this moment, they both dropped to one knee without even thinking.
"Welcome the birth of the new god!"
James looked fanatical.
His fists were clenched tightly, and his whole body trembled slightly from excitement.
"The human race shall rise!"
Luke growled in a low voice.
His eyes were filled with faith and awe.
...
The City of Miko.
Rainn stood on top of the cold tower.
The endless lightning in the sky reflected in her beautiful eyes.
Buzz!
The Primordial Miko Crown above her head suddenly released thousands of rays of divine light.
It was as if it was bowing to the strongest being in the world.
"Aiden... you really made it this far."
Rainn’s red lips parted slightly, and her cool voice spread through the wind.
...
On the Golden Great Wall.
Zoey’s almost transparent body swayed in the violent wind.
She looked toward Celestial Imperial City, tears already streaming down her face.
"Yves... can you see this?"
Zoey’s voice choked with emotion, filled with endless relief.
"Your successor has taken back the core. And now, he is about to become a god!"
...
Deep in the endless void.
Bella, who was in seclusion healing her wounds, slowly opened her icy eyes.
Those eyes seemed able to see through all ages.
For once, a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.
"He did it."
Bella whispered softly.
"Aiden, I’ll be waiting for you at the peak of the gods."
...
At this moment, Celestial Imperial City had completely turned into a sea of thunder.
Rumble!
Above the sky, black thunderclouds gathered madly.
They grew thicker and darker, as if they were about to swallow the entire land.
Nine purple-gold bolts of lightning, each as thick as a barrel, flickered in and out of sight within the clouds.
They released the terrifying pressure of a world-destroying heavenly tribulation.
"The City Lord... the City Lord is going to become a god!"
"Heaven bless Celestial Imperial City! Heaven bless the Great Shaw Empire!"
